Markus Lupfer

Combining the best of Britain's creative energy with a
self-assured sense of control, Markus Lupfer is fast
becoming one of London's most important designers.

Relying on precise tailoring and a stunning sense of
color, Lupfer brought to life classic wardrobe staples
and gave them a modern, subtly edgy twist. Simple
turtlenecks and crewnecks in primary yellow, red and
blue looked fresh and youthful with ribbon-front,
pleated and layered skirts; masculine jackets were
softened with draped lapels then paired with
flat-front trousers; cocktail dresses relied only on a
slight side cinch for a shot of swagger. Lupfer's
fitted corduroy jeans and body-conscious bomber
jackets were full of attitude, but his shiny, printed
shift dresses looked sweet and elegant. Accessories
included bright, see-through plastic belts that neatly
tied together his structured looks.
